You hid

I lost you-
Oh yes, I did!
I thought you were gone
But in a corner of my heart you hid.

My mind moved on, proud and free-
In the cold, barren street,
it thought,it had pushed you out.
Didn't know a few notches down,
Was a heart so devout.

I was whole,
Heart and mind in sync
Before you came in surging
To drive in my being a chink.

You split me in two,
Made enemies within me,
Where my heart and mind swayed together
They now stood apart, separated by debris.

And then you left,
For reasons only you agreed with.
My heart was bereft,
My mind jumped in the air- 'Told you it was a myth!'

It took some pity-
Strange how that's the forte of the heart-
And did the best it could to give my heart's pieces a logical form.
Camarederie, after all, is not an art.

Along came many suitors,
With sterling qualities in my knight I wanted to claim.
As my mind crossed you out against each of those,
My heart refused to play the game.

And then it struck-
Lighting, thunderbolt-
I still wasn't over you,
That I never will be.
But my mind's more mine than my heart's yours
So walk on, I will.
Loved you with what I had,
So have no qualms now.
To love takes courage
I'm sorry that you didn't have.
Take care, oh dear,
When love comes knocking on your door, I hope you wouldn't again leave it to starve.
